USB Serial Monitor Lite
* I tested CDC-ACM with Arduino UNO, MEGA, mbed.test report : NXP LPC1769(thanks to mark)When you connect a CDC-ACM device to Android, please select Menu -> Open Device.If you have checked operation, please send me message.e-mail:[email protected]
Feature
- support CDC-ACM protocol(Arduino, mbed, PSoC etc.)(beta)New!
- support FTDI chips
- Baud rate (1200
- 115200 bps)
- Data bits, Parity Check, Stop bits, flow control, break options(not support in CDC-ACM)
- Display in character/decimal/hex notation.
- send a result by e-mail
- send/receive Linefeed code(CR/LF/CR+LF)
- font size option
You can connect Android to Arduino UNO.And if you have an FTDI USB-Serial adapter(FT232RL), any microcomputers can be connect to Android by using this application.

FAQQ: Why my phone/tablet(Android 3.1 or upper) is incompatible?A: Maybe, your phone/tablet does not have a USB Host API feature.
Q: But my phone/tablet supports a USB thumb drive, USB mouse and USB keyboard.A: It's not a USB Host API. It's a Linux USB Host. Please check to see if your phone/tablet have a USB Host API.
Q: Can I get binary or source code?A: Yes, It's open source. Please check my github page.
Q: How much max output current is?A: smartphone type : 150
- 180mA(Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S2) tablet type : 400mA
- 500mA? (ICONIA A500, Nexus 7)

Plugged in to my Polaroid Tablet. Checked coms by shorting pin 2 and 3 and it certainly only returned the coms when there was a short. Would be nice to have more then just ASCII strings. Binary Decimal hexadecimal would be nice too as well as alternative ways to view the data received for us electronics tinkerers.
I love this, can talk to my arduino just by pluging it in. Its open source. Just one thing, once in a blue moon it locks up the tablet (Nexus 7) for anywhere between seconds to a minute or two and then it reboots. Please, PLEASE figure out whats wrong because i think it might be something stupid that's breaking it.
Apps not compatible with pcduino & cubieboard development board dear developer, i really loves this apps. it makes easier for serial communication. however, this apps not support on both pcduino & cubieboard development board. hopefully the new version of this apps support both development board especially pcduino as this board design for arduino based running linux OS & android OS. same goes for cubieboard as this board running android OS. it would be great if this apps can running on both development boards as these boards can be functioning as a pc.
Please helppp! The app works like a charm but when I used the link in the description to run the app from the github code i can only write (send) plus i get a cannot open toast
Using this to communicate with an Arduino mega which is controlling a robot. Works straight away unlike other apps I have used.
Running Android 5.0.1 on Nexus 9 connecting to an Arduino Leonardo and this app doesn't work. Granted, none of them have so far.
Spent 5 min trying to figure it out and gave up . Samsung Tab S
An easy to use tool for serial IO to my uno. Most recent project was an NFC reader\writer. It just does exactly what it says on the tin.
Hey there, I just wanted to let you know that this is the first app that I've managed to get communicating with my Adafruit Flora which is based on the ATmega32u4. Is there an app that would allow me to read back from the arduino? Thanks!
Works great on teensy 3.0. Only small thing is you have to press open device twice for it to open. Thanks for a great open source solution!
Works with FRDM-KL25Z with mbed program. Only seems to work up to 9600 baud though. Only app that appeared to work! Would love to have this work faster!
Does exactly what it's supposed to. Tried it with my XBee explorer.
Using this on a Nexus 7 2012 to send serial commands to an Arduino Uno and it works perfectly.
Works perfectly with my Teensy 2.0+ Thanks for making it open-source.
tested on CDC/ACM with Microchip PIC32MX.
A good app to get acquainted with serial communication over USB OTG
Neither Arduino Nano, ESP-12F, or RC-522 are picked up by this program.
Thanks for the awesome library.. Way to go
To debug esp8266 without pc.
ksksue thank you for open source this!
Didn't work for me sadly.
Tested with SR04 UltraSonic Sensor- Perfect
Won't connect! Samsung S3 (4.4.4) with standard OTG (works with mouse, keyboard and storage). Won't connect to 3 different FTDI devices, all FT232R chip.
Worked right out of the box. What more can you say?
Simple and easy, what more can you ask... perfect :)
A great help and works just fine!!!
But, how to sending ASCII control code?
Works fine with FTDI CHIPI-X usb2rs232 interface. Only an issue: terminal does not recognise ANSI escape sequences, such as clear display or move cursor position (sequences starting with {ESC}[ are displayed: for example █[2J instead of executing the command and clearing the screen)
